Background, Impact, and User Need
Pay-as-you-go mobile phones have revolutionized access to telecom, the same can be done with solar energy access. Off-grid installations of PVC panels and batteries can be pared with a mobile payment mechanism to allow clients to purchase power "as they use it". This functionality will allow organizations to become involved with 3rd party providers of solar systems.
Key areas are Agent money collection (back into MifosX core), energy system interaction for on-off and usage models, interactions with other money transfer systems (back into MifosX core), and use of specific "utility-type" accounts where Customers keep balances for a pre-paid or pay as needed account.
This project enables micro-grids and direct consumer finance for specific products. It seeks to enable a clear Agent model, and is geared toward Solar systems in particular.
